I'm sure there is a different contract for every sport, but does anyone know how long this is signed for, and how much $ LSU earns on merchandise sales?

Everywhere you look these days, you see the Nike checks, UA junk and a few adidas logos. Which equals $$$

The current contract runs until June 30, 2014. Per Brian Hommel, LSU licensing. Not sure on money though.

Is that the current contract for football only or all sports?? I am pretty sure this is the first year that LSU baseball was wearing Nike gear. That had been in Russell for the longest time...or what is Rawlings. Something with an R

Football. The baseball team wore Russell jerseys and Nike cleats for a long time before swapping to Nike jerseys. Not sure on the other sports. A couple years ago Alabama signed like a 30 million dollar Nike deal, I'm pretty sure lsu is nowhere near that number.

I happened to like those uniforms. I don't understand the hate toward them.

I'm all for alternate jerseys to be used every now and then, just not those pro combat ones. Those are hideous. Bring back the purple jerseys with white helmets.

Fyi, it wouldn't be the same ones... We can no longer use the 2009 ones, it's part of the pro combat series, you can wear them for that season but that's it (or so i've been told). If LSU gets pro combat again they'll be new

They need to do all white. White pants, white helmets, and white jerseys.

One would think with LSU playing Oregon(the Nike flagship school) that Nike would try to get both teams to wear some new style jersey.

Our Pro Combat wasn't the worst, wasn't the best. I liked the helmets, not so much the jerseys.


I really just wish we would wear our Purple unis more often. They are hands down the best in college football, IMO. I get that white is tradition. The Puple w/ White helmets looks stupid.

I wouldn't mind giving the artists at Nike free reign to design a unique alt uniform. Tell them "Purple & Gold, no toonces" and let them go wild.

LSU's Nike contact is 500K cash and 500k merchandise annually

Yeah, I love the helmets and shoes. Not really the rest. I do like the idea of a purple uniform. I like the shoes and helmet because its really the first time LSU has worn actual gold color. Our colors are purple and gold, but we wear purple and yellow.

Nike, go crazy and make us sweet arse uniforms.
